running in the snow

hi everyone, what are everyones thoughts of running in the snow? i have a half marathon at the end of march and don't want to keep missing crucial runs but also dont want to injure myself. is it time to buy a treadmill? p.s im not a member of a gym and even if i was i would have to travel at least three miles to get to it so travelling in bad conditions isnt ideal

Im with Dave on this one, Ive just got back in from a 5 miler not so much snow up here more ice and slush now, took it steady, a minute a mile more than normal but id say the conditions made it feel more like a trail run so was still a good workout! Wrap up and get out there Ed save those pennies for a weekend treat

Throw on some trail shoes, tights and a softshell and get leaping through the stuff. Since the snow arrived I've been doing some short runs along footpaths through nearby fields and it's been great fun
